A Bargain Hunter's Delight

What is Thrive Market? It's kind of like a cross between Costco and Whole Foods. They sell healthy products at wholesale prices, directly to the consumer through their online store. Prices are discounted 20-50% off retail, every product is non-GMO, and they also source organic wherever possible. Like Costco, Thrive Market is supported by membership. But one thing I love about Thrive is that you don't have to buy huge amounts of every product to get the savings. The savings are offered on single products, and you can order as few or as many as you like. As long as your combined order is over $49, shipping is free.

The annual Thrive Market membership fee is $59.95, which means you need your yearly savings to be higher than that, in order for it to be worthwhile. I've been a Thrive member for three years now, and it has definitely been a money-saver for me. I've put together this shopping list to show how it might also be a money-saver for you.

To help recoup your membership fee back even faster, Thrive is offering my readers a special deal. You don't need a coupon code, but you do need to go to their website through the this link to activate the savings. Thrive also cares a lot about social equity. So, for every membership purchased, they donate a free membership to a low-income family in need.

Paleo AIP Shopping List

Thrive Market actually has a paleo section of their store, which is awesome. But if you are following the autoimmune protocol (AIP), it can be hard to tell at first glance how many of those offerings apply to you. That's why I created this list. One great thing about Thrive is that they list the full ingredients of every product on their website, so it's easy to vet a new product according to your dietary restrictions. Amazon is also known for offering discount prices on some paleo staples, but Thrive's prices are almost always lower. I've compared them in the table below:

Remember: the elimination phase of the AIP isn't meant to last forever. Reintroductions are part of the healing process. Each of us will end up with a personalized list of the foods we are able to reintroduce successfully vs. the foods we need to continue to avoid. (See my Paleo AIP Reintroduction Guide for details). In the table below, I've listed a few products for each reintroduction category. These might also be great choices for your non-AIP family members:

When it comes to health, it's about more than just the food we eat. Reducing our toxic burden is also important, by carefully choosing the products we put on our skin and the cleansers we use in our home. Thrive market sells items in each of these categories as well. They even sell paleo pet food and supplies. They have hundreds of offerings, but here are a few examples:
